Green Tea

I have had green tea daily for over 15 years and it has done nothing for my weight loss, if it helps for health I haven't noticed either.
I think if you enjoy it drink it, it has to be better than high calorie high sugar drinks.

Green and herbal teas are a great snack for me that leave me feeling fuller than just drinking water. Like other posters, I don't drink enough water, so tea helps.

I was just wondering the same thing! I drink tea daily, but I haven't noticed any difference except I feel fuller longer so I drink tea instead of snacking.

I drink green tea most every day. But since you said "take" are you referring to pills?

There is no magic in green tea. It's simply a calorie free drink that has healthy antioxidants. Switching from high calorie drinks to unadorned green tea could help with weight loss.

I have gained, lost and maintained weight while drinking green tea. It's just a drink.

Dont drink green tea, I do drink vanilla chai tea daily. I find it helps me lose weight only because it helps me to feel full longer. Almost as if I had a snack. Im pretty sure green tea would have the same effect.
Hope this helps!

I love green tea! It has not helped me lose weight however ~ my constant exercising and watching my calorie intake have done that.

I like to drink all sorts of tea, including green tea. Different brands of green tea taste different, so you might want to try a few different brands. I actually like Jasmine-Green tea better than plain green tea. I usually brew my green tea for 2 minutes. If you brew it too long it can get bitter. I re-use the teabag once.

You can often get green (and other) tea for a very reasonable price at Asian markets. The kind I like, for example, is something like $3.79 for 100 bags.

I have drank a 40oz tea pot of green tea everyday for over a year now. I initially did it for health benefits, but now I do it because I'm addicted lol. If you buy some nice quality, loose green tea (gunpowder is my very favorite-you can get good stuff for far far less at Asian grocery stores rather than pay an arm and a leg from say, Teavana). Get a nice tea pot(inexpensive on Amazon) and just make it something you enjoy. I don't add anything to mine, but instead of sugar, you could add dried fruit to your tea pot to sweeten and give fruit flavor to your green tea, and after your drink all the tea, you can eat the fruit (the hot water makes the fruit plump again! Hehe!)

Lite most people have said, it really does curb cravings, so make green tea something you enjoy and it will be a treat instead of something you force down for health benefits ;3

I drink green tea. It has not had any effect on my weight or fitness (that fluctuates based on my eating and activity).

Yes and yes. The more lightly and un-sweetened green tea I drink, the less pop and heavily sugared things I don't drink. But if I want a sub for the caffinated things I go for black.

Greent tea is great as it has lots of benefits, and in long term it will increase you metabolism, but as mentioned above don't expect that it will lose weight immediately just because you drink it. Green tea seems to be better than for example l-carnitine, which many compare to a placebo effect

I drink it quite often, hasnt done anything for weight loss really.

Dont drink it on an empty stomach! Puke city you will visit

Green tea is quite high in caffine- it gives me headaches. I do however drink about 6 cups of black tea per day- probably because I'm English and we love a good cuppa! (dash of semi skimmed milk (or coconut milk when I'm off dairy), no sugar or sweetener)

Well, green tea won't hinder weight loss, and if you are having it instead of a drink with calories in it then it will help.

I drink green tea occasionally.
